Okay, so yesterday my guy friend and I made a plan to meet up at the beach, I had two friends with me. We are all 14 and Guy has a girlfriend. Alright, so the day before he told me that while he was at the beach he might go over to the camp sites to see his girlfriend (the camp sites are like 5 minutes walking distance from the beach), which I wasnt exactly happy about but hey, its his gf he can do what he wants.
So the next morning I text him and I ask him if his mom is going and he tells me shes not. So I say that my mom is going to want to go because she doesn't want me unsupervised at the beach. So he told me that his older sister and older cousin were going. So, I assumed he got the point that I needed to be watched, otherwise why would I bother asking? And I also tell him that I will be at the beach at around 1:30, and I'll call him to meet up with him.
So we get to the beach at 2, and I'm calling and he's not picking up. I mean even if I really didn't like someone I would occasionally check my phone to see if they call you know? I wouldnt just leave them hanging! A day has passed and he still hasn't texted or called apologizing, because he knew I would be calling and either 1) was ignoring my calls or 2)didn't have his phone on him.
I'm so angry, I'm considering silent treatment when he works up the nerve to say something. Some of my friends say "Well, what if he has a good excuse?" But I really don't need excuses.
I just would like to know everyone's opinion on this? If I'm overreacting or a different idea so I can make him feel stupid, like he made me feel stupid.

Ask him what's up & listen to him. If it sounds shady or stupid, ask him why he did that. Explain how you thought you guys were friends & the least he could've done was call/text you & tell you he couldn't meet up with you. If his excuse is really lame & you think he's making it up or stood you up on purpose, reconsider your friendship with him. Talk about it & explain how you feel. Try working it out with him though.
